1.8 CF Standard Names: Difference of Air Pressure from Model Reference (difference_of_air_pressure_from_model_reference)

Record Label : difference_of_air_pressure_from_model_reference

Record Title : Difference of Air Pressure from Model Reference

CF Standard Name : difference_of_air_pressure_from_model_reference

Record Description : In some atmosphere models, the difference of air pressure from model reference is a prognostic variable, instead of the air pressure itself. The model reference air pressure is a model-dependent constant. Air pressure is the force per unit area which would be exerted when the moving gas molecules of which the air is composed strike a theoretical surface of any orientation.
